MAINTENANCE
Sun Damage
With almost all fine art rugs you want to minimize the risk of unwanted and damaging fading that is caused by the sun. The sun will actually bleach out the colours from the rug. You will notice a vast difference in fading if one side of a rug has been left in the sun and another side has not.
The best way to avoid such damaging is by not placing your rugs in direct sunlight. If an area of rug is in dircet sunlight, rotate the rug around every couple of months. By doing this you are not stopping the damage done by the sun, but you are making the fading even. So that one end does not look worse then the other.
Vacumming
It is also recommended that you vacumm your rug on a regular basis to help fight against the build up of sediment. The most efficient vacumm would be one with a beater bar on the bottom, as this beats the rug rather then simply gliding over the rug.
Spillages
If you ever drop something on your rug, coffee, tea, wine, curry etc.
PLEASE DO NOT GO TO YOUR KITCHEN CUPBOARD AND PICK UP ANY OLD STORE BOUGHT "CLEANER" YOU HAVE!
Simple mop up any spillages straight away. Using kitchen roll simply blot up any spill that is on the surface of the rug. Use a whole roll if you have to.
Maintenance that you as a rug owner can do is quite simple
If it is a food stain simple scrap off USING THE BLUNT END OF A KNIFE! any excesses food.
Many of the old-wifes-tales MAY work, but why cause any more damage when we are only a phone call away.
